Absolute Surrender [Football]

The away game against Sunderland did not win in the end. This is the team's first loss since late November, and because Liandel did not play, Blackburn's offensive and defensive problems were exposed.

Probably because several league games were too close, the players were a bit exhausted and couldn't find the best competitive state, and they didn't get excited at the end of the game. The offensive end did not pose any threat to the opponent, and the defensive end was even worse.

Near the end of the first half, Sunderland got a corner kick, and Blackburn was already one goal behind.The players all understand that conceding one goal in the first half is nothing, and it is easy to equalize the score. Once the conceded goals become two, the pressure on the disadvantaged side will increase, and the tactics formulated by the coach will be difficult to implement.

It was because of this consideration that the defensive players were particularly desperate. After the corner kick was taken, a group of players competed for the top in front of the penalty area. They blocked the goalkeeper's sight. The ball was finally saved, but the price paid was painful—— —Blackburn's main goalkeeper Paul Robinson suffered a severe right shoulder injury and a slight concussion and was unable to continue the game. The substitute goalkeeper Mark Boone rushed the ducks to the shelves without even having time to warm up.

Blackburn doesn't have the trouble of multi-line battles. Their starting goalkeeper is almost fixed. In the past 3 league games, Mark Boone has only played three or four games. He has been sitting on the bench for the past month...so much playing time At least, it is really difficult to quickly find a competitive state. Sunderland seized this opportunity and beat Blackburn by surprise. In the blink of an eye, the goal was scored twice.Mark Boone also worked very hard, and he did not make the situation worse. At least in the following time, Sunderland failed to continue to expand its lead, and the score of 0:[-] was maintained until the final whistle sounded.

This game was a tragic loss. It not only ended the winning streak that lasted for more than a month, but also cast a shadow over the devil's schedule. A good goalkeeper is worth half of the team. Paul Robinson is easily injured, and Big Sam is the only one. Broken heart.

East Lancashire, where Blackburn is located, is fairly tolerant. The local media objectively analyzed the reasons for the defeat. On the one hand, the players are out of form. Robinson's accidental injury also caught people off guard.It's very painful to lose a general before facing the giants, but he has already entered the hospital, and he can't get out for a while, so it's useless to complain and regret.

The local media has already focused on the next game, but other newspapers are unwilling to expose it easily. At the press conference after the end of the game, Allardyce encountered various embarrassing problems, and the most concerned about Leander's rotation and Robinson's injury.Liandel failed to make the big list for two consecutive games. It could be said that he was accumulating energy for the bloody battle against Liverpool. Reporters are always unwilling to believe too simple reasons.

"I'm a reporter from The Times. I heard that Don has signed an employment contract with a very powerful agent in the circle. Will this be a signal for a winter transfer?"

"I'm a reporter from News of the World. Will Don appear in the match against Liverpool? What are your plans for the next round? How do you evaluate Liverpool led by Hodgson?"

……

Big Sam is mentally prepared to lose. There is a hard power gap between Blackburn and Sunderland, that is to say, they are slightly weaker in each point when they perform at the same level... Losing is not terrible, what is scary is Unplanned loss, who would have thought that Robinson would be injured at such a critical moment?Because he was in a bad mood, Big Sam didn't answer too many questions. He only said that Leander was not for sale, and at the same time guaranteed that he could start the next game, so that fans would not be misled by public opinion.

Robinson had already left one step ahead. His right body hit the goalpost directly, and because he was so focused on saving the ball that he didn't have time to make a protective posture, the hit was solid. After seeing it, the team doctor said that it would take at least half a month. , If the shoulder ligaments or bones are injured, it will take longer, and you will not know until you go to the hospital for an examination.

The performance was bad, and Robinson was injured. The atmosphere in the team bus was very dull, and no one dared to talk too much, for fear of getting burned.Big Sam attended the press conference alone. He got into the car at the end. He didn’t speak to the players, and he didn’t comfort the players. The car was very quiet. After a long while, Samba couldn’t help but said: “This defeat is really embarrassing. People are disappointed, but we haven't reached the point of despair. Five days later, we will face Liverpool, and then there will be Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle... I am not reconciled to the end of the winning streak. If we are not reconciled, we will win back. We last season Ranked tenth in the league, we have never been underdogs, so don't be discouraged."

As a former player of Real Madrid, Salgado has experienced more big scenes. After listening to Samba, he nodded, "Football is round, and God can't predict the result. We played really ugly in this game. It’s good to know how to introspect, and the most important thing is to get back to the state and overcome the difficulties as soon as possible. The news media are happy to see you lose and seize the opportunity to make a big spectacle, so what do you care about with them.”

Someone stood up to enlighten, the atmosphere gradually became lively again, and the players also expressed their opinions one after another, vowing to let those who underestimated them taste bad.After chatting for a while, someone couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice: "Does Ander really have an agent? Which agency did he sign with?"

As one of the few insiders, Samba took a look at the coach's face for the first time. He didn't dare to disclose the news because he couldn't see why. I was distressed and didn’t know how to choose, so I talked to me about this topic, and I suggested that he hire a professional football agent to take care of off-field affairs. The follow-up development is still unclear, and it should be announced after it is finalized.”

The words are true and false, and it is enough to perfunctory teammates who are not close or far away. After that, the road is very safe. Everyone adjusts their state and prepares for a new round of bombing.

The fans are like this. Although they support the team externally, they are still picky when they close the door. They are not satisfied with the loss, and the main goalkeeper's injury is hard to let go. The most worrying thing is Liandel's problem... Is what the media said true? ?Could it be that their leading shooter is really going to leave in winter?If you don't make the squad, you're finalizing your transfer?The fans stopped the bus and insisted on asking for an explanation. Big Sam stood up and calmed down his emotions with just one sentence: "I guarantee that Liandel will never leave with the handsome position, and he will work together with Blackburn. Get through the rest of the devil's schedule."

This was said very skillfully, anyone with a heart could tell that Leander was always going to leave, not just now.

It’s not that the fans have no opinion, they dare not make trouble. It’s no secret that the Indians are dissatisfied with Big Sam and want to support a more obedient coach to take the stage. The high-level executives like Stephen Keane. If the fans get into trouble because of a loss, it will not only affect the preparations for the game The next round of emotions will also fuel the arrogance of the top management, making Big Sam's situation even more difficult.If there is no Sam Allardyce, Blackburn is still staying in the British Championship, where is the chance to rise?The Indian guy wants to let go of the grind and kill the donkey fans so the fans won't cooperate with him!

The day after Sunderland's 3-0 thrashing of Blackburn, the Mirror, The Independent, The Sun and the Daily Mail all published opinion pieces questioning Big Sam's decision to rotate Lyander Decided, and at the same time angered the whole Blackburn team, saying that they were dazzled by the winning streak, as if they had forgotten that they had not made much contribution to the brilliant record in the past month, and the real hero was not included in the squad at all. 33 Novel Network

Compared with these newspapers, the "Guardian" is much gentler. They are obviously biased towards violence. Not only did they say that the abnormal performance of this round was to save their energy for the next round, but they also asked Manchester United celebrities to predict that Black will be defeated in five days. Ben v Liverpool result.

Manchester United, as a foreign team, many of their real rivals are abroad, and there are only two in their own country: the first is the rival Manchester City in the same city, and the second is the opponent of the national derby, the Red Army Liverpool with the same glorious history.

Manchester United has always met Liverpool on the brink of death. Asking them to predict the outcome of this game is clearly a problem with Liverpool.

In fact, it is easy to understand. As one of the three major newspapers in the UK, the "Guardian" is headquartered in Manchester. Although they will not support the teams in the region without thinking, they occupy a convenient location and take care of Manchester United and Manchester City. There will be more.This kind of care just happened to attract all the famous people from other families.As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Manchester United and Everton have always been united when discrediting Liverpool. In terms of league rankings, Liverpool was sprayed as worthless.

You can't blame others for their bad mouths. Hodgson's team performed badly enough in the first half of the season.Because of the UEFA Champions League, they missed two games. In the 25th round, they had seven wins, four draws and eight losses. They ranked ninth in the league with [-] points. The half gap is very small, and Liverpool are only six points away from the relegation zone.

As Benitez's successor, Hodgson also received a lot of support at the beginning of his tenure, but his performance was too poor. The team executives were already very dissatisfied with him. In the last round, Liverpool beat Bolton in stoppage time to save his precarious position. .Although they have just won the ball, Liverpool's overall state has not recovered. They rely on the persistence of captain Gerrard and the outstanding performance of Torres. The former has just returned from injury, and the latter has suffered from knee injuries throughout the season. It may cause a recurrence of the injury... The safest way is to use it in rotation, but Blackburn has a super striker Leandel Tang, and he alone is enough to worry Hodgson.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Blackburn fans experienced a complicated process of psychological changes. They didn't feel at ease until the squad was announced.

An hour before the start of the game, the starting rosters of the two teams were posted one after another, both in a 442 formation.

For Liverpool, captains Steven Gerrard and Torres are impressively on the list, which reassures the Red Army fans a lot.As for other positions, the goalkeeper is No. 25 Reina, the defense No. 2 Glenn Johnson, No. 16 Kirjakos, No. 37 Skrtel, No. 3 Koncheski, the midfielder is led by Gerrard, 21 No. Lucas, No. 10 Joe Cole, No. 17 Maxi; Torres and Ngog form a double arrow on the striker... Except that it is a bit intriguing to put Dirk on the bench, the other positions are similar to the media predictions, This is already the best lineup Hodgson can make.

Looking at Blackburn again, the goalkeeper is No. 13 Mark Boone, and the defense is full of acquaintances, Salgado, Nelson, Samba and Givet who has just returned from injury; It is confusing, Diouf and Morrison, two stable players, are on the bench. The starters are Olsen, Pedersen, David Dunn and Hoilett. Needless to say, Benjani partnered with Leander...Big Sam fulfilled the promise he made before the game and let the dragon father stand on the green field.

Liandel came out of the player tunnel. They entered the stadium 45 minutes early. They had to interact with the fans and have to be fully active. The time was already quite rushed.As the most popular player in the Blackburn team, the moment Leander showed up, the Ewood Park stadium exploded. The [-] home fans stood up in unison. They unfurled banners and shouted the name of the hero.

"Ander!"

"Ander!"

……

After resting for two rounds before, and standing on the green field again, it feels really different.Leander is full of pride, can't wait to scream twice, run at the speed of the wind, happily capture the opponent's goal in the way he likes, and let the audience kneel down and sing the feeling of conquering is back!

Leander was not in a hurry to move forward. He paused, closed his eyes, and took two deep breaths. The smell of green grass lingered at the tip of his nose, and there was still a touch of water vapor in it.Leander raised his head slightly, spread his arms, and made a gesture of embracing the court. After a wave of frantic screams, the pretentiousness without capital was finally over. He kissed the team logo on his left chest before stepping into the stadium. court.

It's not purely for show, this is a simple and crude way for intuitive creatures to integrate into the environment, judging the temperature, humidity and the feeling of the turf. After the data is collected, the real warm-up begins.From muscle stretching to jogging, back-and-forth running, and sprinting...and then passing and catching the ball and shooting practice, it's too late to make up for it at this point, just looking for the feeling.Leander keeps every part of his body ready in the way he is used to. He moves casually, but the effect is very good, and his handsomeness is even more amazing.

The two commentators in the Sky Sports live broadcast room and the special guests of this game have been teasing.

"I don't know if Don's skills have improved. It's true that he is getting more and more handsome. My wife was not happy that he didn't make the squad in the first two rounds. My two daughters also lost their temper and asked me why I didn't let him play. ...I'm not Big Sam and I don't know why? No nonsense!"

"You are trivial. Can there be a TV station? Every Blackburn game day, there will always be fans calling and complaining, saying that they will not watch our program without Leander Don, and they will not listen to it. The audience friends request us Try to be satisfied, but it’s not the TV station’s fault that Don’s not included in the big list, if you have any comments, please contact the Blackburn official, they will give you a satisfactory answer.”

"Let's get down to business, let's talk about the game. It's actually quite dramatic. The home team Blackburn had a strong momentum in the previous month. They only lost one game in total, which was the last round away game against Sunderland; Liverpool's situation was just the opposite. Their performance in the first half of the season was very bad. The coach faced getting out of class several times. The situation was very embarrassing, but they won the last round. Facts have proved that the media and football celebrities predict scores based on more than one round of results. Blackburn and Liverpool are generally optimistic about the former in this bloody battle."

"I heard that the whole Manchester United team is cheering for Blackburn. They hope that Don can continue to write the myth."

"Just think about Don's Premier League debut that cannot be replicated, and you can understand the bitterness of Manchester United. He has been ridiculed by the crowd for more than a month, and he finally had the opportunity to pull back. How can such a great opportunity be easily let go? ?”

The situation is like this, Rooney usually dislikes Leander so much, and sent a message before the No.20 second round of the league started.

[Score three goals and we are still good friends, score four goals and call you brother! ]

[Promise me, for the friendship of our fried chicken legs, we must win no matter what! ! ]
